  • Wu Sau-jing, 71. Every night, Wu hits the street at 2am and begins collecting a range of recyclable waste from cardboards to oil. Throughout the night, she goes from one street to another to pick up recyclables shops and restaurants leave out at their storefronts for her. She stays out all night to sort them into categories and sell her finds to recycling firms towards the end of her shift, which lasts until 11am. That has been her routine for the past three decades. Apart from trying to make a few extra bucks, Wu calls it her “hobby”  “It’s likes smoking and gambling. It’s a hobby you can’t get rid of,” she says, adding that without it, her retirement life would be “mundane.” She says recycling firms used to pay up to HK$1.2 to buy back a catty(0.6kg) of cardboards but prices have plunged to HK$0.4 these days, which translates into about $100 per night for her. But she seems motivated to carry on. “I will do it until one day I can’t do it anymore,” she says.
